eFX Darth Vader A NEW HOPE Helmet!

[IrishJedi]

I'm sure it will. It's the one I'm getting and it's from the same mold. You can't go wrong with an ANH Vader, period.

I thought Gino said that they made some changes and cleaned-up a master pull from the mold to make a NEW mold for the Limited helmet (whereas the Legend helmets are right out of the master mold).

Received the Legend this weekend and it's amazing. Now bring on the Legend Stormtrooper Helmet.

Some of the efx detractors who claim to own both the fan made castings and the legend claim that the legend has been heavily altered/cleaned up and that for all intents and purposes, the legend looks like a limited except with a special brushed paint job.

Bottom line is we don't know until someone who owns a limited and a legend posts comparison pics.

And of course those detractors who own a fan made and a legend post their own comparison pics (but we all know they are unlikel to).

Has anyone actually been able to contact EfX? I have questions about my order and they are completely MIA both over the phone and via email...

Nope, never have gotten an answer to ANY mail or PM from them.

Still waiting for them to ship out my Legend Vader, but want them to inspect mine before shipping it out.

I emailed the customer service email about some rubs on the dome of my legend and received a quick response. They are answering emails.

Bryan responded quickly to my request to charge me the balance. Looks like it will be shipping soon!

Yes, the RPF has absolutely BLOWN UP all over again over the C-scar and the like. I'm glad we've been able to keep that to a minimum here. There will never be a "perfect" Vader helmet to suit all, because the very definition of that term becomes subjective when we each build our must-have list and (for some) then seek to protect that list against all comers.

Bottom line is this, for the first time since Star Wars' release in '77 it is possible to own pieces and replicas that we all olnly dreamed of as kids. Rejoice! And allow others to be happy with the pieces they treasure most...

Have no idea when my Legend Vader might ship at all.

I would check your CC for pending charges.

They may have gotten the FedEx link corrected and prepped another batch of orders for shipment, as the eFX charge showed up last night on my card.

Will check my CC, thanks.

Just made an phonecall to eFX and got hold of Bryan and they are trying to get all of the remaining Legend out this week.
There has also been put an extra layer of protection around the domes

Exactly my thoughts..I look at it and it's perfect to me...takes me back to when I saw Vader first appear on screen every time I look at it. Love it! I have learned if I seek perfection I'll never be happy and are there nitpicks I could research and find about why this one isn't in fact 100% identical to the one that Prowse wore on his head, sure but why in the world would I need or want to do that. Not my style.

Hell to the yeah!

I'm just waiting for pics of the limited to emerge since that is the only one I can get,

Possibly my most cherished cinematic moment! I've been yearning to own this hat since I was too young to read the opening crawl! Now it's mine. No words can describe the feeling, really.
